Oh... there is some very fun Vintage, Kitsch and Couture reading today. The kitsch totally deserved to be on top today!

Oh this is weird... this link doesn't have much story but there are photos of dresses made from milk. Judging from the photos, it appears that the milk material wrinkles easily. The orange dress looks wrinkled to me.

New exhibit brings art deco fashion
"It's what I love," said Cynthia Amneus, textile and costume curator at Cincinnati Art Museum.Funny to randomly come across this article... back when I worked at the Cincinnati Art Museum, I used to use Cindy's computer upstairs in the costume department.

The costume collection (if memory serves me correctly) was the largest collection at the museum yet the smallest actually on display.
This is honestly a big part of the reason that I fell so in love with vintage clothing.
